Adam Pierce's POV
"Mom, please," I begged.
"Sweetheart, I don't know. I don't know if we can
afford it. I want to, but you have to understand - "
my mom began. A desperate kind of pain burned in
my chest; I understood, why couldn't she?
"Dad." I said, looking toward him for help.
"Adam, it's a lot of money. I know you want to help,
but what if something goes wrong? What if we can't pay for
you, then?" Dad tried to explain calmly.
I couldn't believe my parents. This was so important, and
they were passing it off so simply. I wasn't asking for a
new videogame, or something stupid. I was asking for them to
save her life.
I needed her to live. Why was it that hard to
understand? Why were they taking their time deciding when she
was lying in the hospital at this very moment? Why did
this have to happen to my Sophia?
"Dad. I have time. She doesn't.
Don't you understand? She's at the hopital, counting
her breaths, right now. Dad, she can't - " I broke
off, unable to say the word die. I took a deep
breath, and brushed away the tears forming at the edges of my
eyes.
"Okay," Mom breathed, "Let's
go."
Yeah, it's short,and you
probably don't have a clue what's going on./:
I promise, you will soon(:
